It was made . out in the name of the Widow Astley, three ladies named. Gill, and Wheal. Duerow and West. Mr. DArtnoß hoped• he might be allowed to correct a mistake which the lion. Member (Mr. Jackson) had made, relative to the " City of the Plague." There w as no t one word of the " Episode" alluded to by Mr. Jackson in that production : it was ihtrochiced into some other piece. The Licence was then granted in the usual form. • VAUXHALL "GARDENS. Mr. THESSIGER said, he had to' ap ply to the Court for a renewal of the Lic ence ' for Vaux hall Gardens ' in the name of MesarMessrs.Gye and Hughes. I n ma ki ng this mo tion, he wished to say a few words, relative to what had taken place since last year. Some complaints were then made about the dark walls, and the evil, was immediately remedied by the ,addition of a number o f lentils. It was objected that there was not. a sufficient UllMber of con stables, upon which an tulditional• number had been added, so that there were near one hundred peace officers ready at a call, and no injury bad been complained of, or a well founded complaint made in any 'part of the establishment or its vicinity, .over which the Proprietors had command or control. He understood, however, that a Memorial had been yesterday presented fro n several persons resid ing near the Gardens, containing various complaints. Licence granted with restrictions. SURREY THEATRE. The Simony Theatre was licensed without oppoSition, in the ' 11411 41 of Jetties bnnn. COBURG THI A.Tftr.. Mr:l'utsgtoßlt moved for a renewal of the license of the -Colniro Theatre, the natit of Messrs. .1. Joiw3i, • , V. Glossop; I lolloway, and On the question being put that the license be granted, Mr. IL Stamm said, that have the licence was granted • be felt it necessary to say a few words as to what took place with respect to the Coburg theatre two years ago.— , In 1823 or 1824., it most horrid murder had been com •• reknit' in Hertfordshire, and immediately after a repre sentation of that dreadful transaction took place at the (Coburg, contrary to the feelings of every well-thinking' character in society. There was shortly after this a repre sentation at the same Theatre, entitled " A History of George the Third and his Niftily." Iloth these matters were stated tv the Court at thenext lieeneing day, in the presence of the parties, and the result was, that the Court required that no such representations as that of the Murder ire Hertfordshire should in future take plate ; which was readily promised.... As to the4eeond, it wits required by the Court, and pledge given by the parties, that there should not. henceforth be any dramatic representations of living characters of eminence, or of persons so recently dead that they lived in the recollections of those who remained behind them ; and that, least of all, should there be any such men as our good deceased Monarch, under the bieSSings of whose reii,,.sn such general advantages had • been* enjoyed. A placard wits put in circulation, an nouncing for representation a piece, called " The City of the Plague." He obtained possession of one of those pla cards, and kept it until about a fortnight since, When it un fortunately escaped froM his hands, and he had not since Seen it. He, however, recollected that the piece was en . titled " Th e City of tl;e. Plague," and into that piece was to be introduced one of the most afflictin calamities that could befal n; nation--he Meant a description of that dread fill malady *der which Our late King had laboured for ten Or eleven years. lie did not rise to oppose granting the lieense, but he. felt it iMpossible to allow it to be granted Without mentioning the circumstance to the Catni— (Bear, hear l)---and unless the proprietors or lessees and Managers would pledge themselves sgafioit the repetition of such perforMances, he should take the opinion of the Court against granting the license. The Court would, Of course, hear what the parties had to say on the subject. Mr. DAViDGE said, that the pledge alluded to had been given, and, he trusted, honourably kept, by the Lessees: `and Managers of the Coburg. Mr. IL SVAINER . Saiti, he would ask Mr. Liwion who- Vier he did not agree with him us to the impression which" the' placard was calculated to make ? negociation after Wards took place, and the piece was altered from the LAVV - iNiialidik E. Mr. DAvinolu pledged hia word of honour, that no rate ation bad been made either in the manuscript copy of the piece or the placard, from the period of their having been submitted to Mr. Lamotott. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Ocr. 18. DELCNYN. V. NVKICS AND MENUS. This was an action On a covenant, brought by Belcher, a merchant, against the executors of Mir. Brinier, the-hro. ther and executor of Mr. James Brimer, who had formerly 'been a merchant in partnership with the plaintiff. It ap-; neared, that Mr. Brimer was an eminent merchant residing in London; Mr. Belcher resided at Halifax, and they were many years partners in undertaking Government contracts. These contracts were entered into In the name of Brimer, from the circumstance of his residing in London, and the Victualling Board being unwilling to enter into contracts with a person living at so great, a distance. Mr. Belcher was, however, a bona Ale partner in these contracts. He, after some time, came to this country,: and on his coming to it, the contracts that were entered into were properly stated. to be formed with Brimer and Belcher. In 1814, however, owing to some disagreement, a dissolution of partnership took place, and by the deed of dissolution, Bel cher purchased Brimer's interest in the contracts in which they were engaged, and' for the consideration of 50,0004 undertook to defray all the expeneas, and to be entitled to all the profits resulting from the partnership. The COMMON SIM:RANT, on the deed of dissolution being offered in evidence, objected: to its production, as it was a deed agreeing and promising to pay 60,000/.4ind wag on a stamp of only 1!. llls. ; whereas, by the 48th of Geo. 111. e. 48, it should have been on a, stamp of'lsoo/. a d valorem . . • • . The SOLICITOR-OEN?ItAI. admitted the objection to be fa nd, and the plaintiff was nonsuited. N ICWCOM Bt V. r SMITH. This was an action of trover brought by the plaintiff, a banker, in Grantham, to recover the halves of India Bonds alleged to be in the possession of Mr. Alex. Smith, a silk. mercer. The bonds were to the amount of 10,300/. Mr. SCARLYMT stated the plaintiff's case.—The facts were few and simple. Messrs. Newcombe and Hardy, bankers at Grantham, had directed Mr. Watts, a broker in London, to purchase India Bonds for them to the amount of 5,000/. This purchase was made in August, 1823 ; mean while Mr. N. died, and the second purchase was directed to be made for. Mr. Hardy, on the 18th July, 1825. The prac tice that was observed respecting these bonds *was this —the bonds were cut in two, one set of the halves was transmitted to Mr. Hardy, and the other halves:retained by Mr. Watts; and when the dividends became due, the halves in the possession of Mr. Hardy were transmitted to town, Where they were joined together, and taken to the Italia House for payment. At a certain period , Weill' failed, and tit the time of his failure Mr. Hardy f o und, upon inquiry, that Mr. Smith was in possession of the other halves of the bonds. , It appealed that Mr. Smith ww 4l4 in the habit of placing large sums of money in the hands_ r of Mr. Watts, and as this sum increased in course L ah time of to a consider a bl e amoun t, he Was naturally desk , avin g some security for his money.* The security t Ir.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVEVING, OCTOBER 19, 1826. We received last night the Paris Papers of Monday and the Etoile dated Tuesday morning. They exhibit a great dearth of political news. The only article of this character is giien uncle; the head of Presburgl4 3d inst., which purports to be a report of the pro ceedings of the Hungarian Diet, the ostensible object of which was to congratulate the EMPEROR on his birth-day, but which probably related in a greater degree to their own grievances. The arrival of his Royal Highness the Archduke PALATINE from Vienna, to preside at this and some previous meetings, and .hiS immediate return to Vienna, show that some further impOrtant subjects had occupied the Diet since the sittings, of which we before gave the proceedings. The Moniteur contains a Royal Ordinance, rep lating the currency of Martinique and Guadeloupe, with the view of placing it upon a fixed basis, -con formable to that of the monetary system of the Mother Country. All computations in these Colonies are to be in francs, and the Oidioanee directs not only that it Hball be obligatory that all computations in colonial Money shall Cease, but that the five franc piece, and its subdivisions, shall be received in payments at their nominal value. The difficulties which our QWII Go vernment have experienced in regulating the currency of our West India and other Colonies by a system better digested than that which the French Government have promulgated, lead us to predict that the regulations of this ordinance will not remain in actual operation for any length of time in Martinique and its depen dencies. The young Duke of BoURDICAUK VMS introduced on Sunday, after Mass, to the Cabinet Council, and confided by the KING to the Duke de RiviERE and the Bishop of STRASBURG/I ; his MAJESTY felt much emotion on the occasion, and created the Vis. countess de GOUTANT a Duchess, in proof of his Royal approbation of her care of this " Child of Pro vidence," as he styled him, during the years of his ten der infancy. Contrary to former' accounts, we are now informed that M. TALMA'S state of health has been pronounced by DururrnEN, and other eminent persons of the faculty, as by no means dehperat& The following are extracts , Yesterday, Oct. 15, after mass, her Royal Highness Madame the Duchess of Berry introduced the Duke of Bordeaux to the Cabinet Council. Ilis'Majesty has put him into the hands of the Duke de Riviera, his governor, and expressed to him, as well as to the Bishop of Stras burgh, all the confidence which he placed in their devoted ness, zeal, and wisdom. The King has likewise manifest ed his perfect satisfaction to the Viscountess de Goutant, for the care she had taken of him up to the present time, by creating her a Duchess. , On deli ver i ng this precious deposit •to the Duke od e Riviere., his Majesty pronounced, With great emotion, the folloWin g wor d s which we had the good fortune to collect DUke de Riviere and Lord Bishop—l give you the greatest proof of confidence and esteem, in committing to your care the education of -this child. of Providence, who is likewise a Prince of the Royal Family of France. lam confident that you will display in the discharge of that important function, a zeal and prudence which will give you a claim on my gratitude, as well as on the gratitude of my Family, and of all France " Duchess of Goutant—l thank you most heartily - for the care yyou have seesawed on the education a this dear child. Continue and - .complete these attentions 'to this child, which is so dear . to me, and you will acquire fresh claims and titles to my attention and gratitude." The Lord Bishop of Chili is said to be on the point of departure for Madrid, (Prom the Journal des Debate.) There has been a consultation of physicians, attended by Dupuytren, and several of the most distinguished of the faculty, the result of which is, that Talma's state of health is by no means desperate.

I6.—Though the number of the sick at Groningen appears rather to increase than to diminish, on account of the numerous relapses, the number of deaths from the sth to the 12th October, was, however, only 132, fewer by 26 than in, the seven preceding days. ROTTERDAM, OCT. 16.—T0-day his Majesty opens thii Sessions of the States General at Brussels. According to authentic accounts received by one of our physicians the state of the sickness at Groningen was very unfavourable, it was in general a malignant intermittent fever, accompanied with various important symptoms. The convalescent were very liable to relapse, and in that case death was generally the consequence; above a third of the population was attacked, 1,500 had died since the Bth June, and four days preceding the 10th October, 72. The accounts from Friezland are still very melancholy ; sickness and death increase; as appears from the following statement ; At Snick the deaths, from Ist to 16th September, were 38; from 16th to Ist October, 42; and from Ist to 15th October, 59. In Scholerland the deaths were, in July, 19 persons; in August, 58 ; in September, 69; and in the first thirteen days of October, 46. Tn Aenpoirden, which has 2,500 souls, died in July, 11; in August, 20; in Sept., 21; and in the first 13 days of Oct., 12. The Dutch Papers also contain accounts from to the 11th October. The 'following article de scribes in striking colours the punishment of the Tread mill, which has been Introduced into the House of Correction at CronaCh, in Bavaria. The scene is well painted, and calculated, we should hope, to dger per— sons from the commission olacts which might subject them to a nearer view of the vaulted room in which l i this punishment is inflicted, the appearance of which is compared to DANTE'S Hell BERLIN, OCT. .11.—The Tread-mill, Which is intro duced into the House of Correction at Cronach, in Ba varia, grinds daily the flour requisite for the 400 persons in the establishment.'

Thus they have a German mile to walk up hill, without mountain air, in a large vaulted room, with constant interruption and double allowance of food. The appearance looks like Dante's hell. Conceive a large vaulted apartment lighted by a single lamp, near which a sentinel is posted with his drawn sabre, which Klimmers in the gloom; the prisoners almost'without ex °colon well made young persons, in white linen trowsers end shirt sleeves, seen trop, behind in constant motion, yet never advancing till the 000 steps are accomplished ; bell then rings, the workmen let themselves down by iron bars by which others ascend, so that the wheel never stands still : 300 men and 100 women are constantly employed here, and amon g voiceislthemareyohuead in the m th r ofgood ed a r ro ti o o m n : or in sound of a any of the other apartments. All the workmen are obliged to be silent. Brussels and Dutch Papers of the 18th instant, have been received this morning. The mast import ant document in them 'is the Speech of the XING of the Netherlands, on opening the AsseMbly of the States General. This Speech is, upon the whole, a most satisfactory exposition of the state of Holland, breathing peace and prosperity, both at home and abroad, with the trifling exception of the Batavian squabbles. His MAJESTY in person congratulates the States on the assurances of peace which he receives from all quarters—tells them that arrangements for improving commerce are nearly concluded—laments the disease at Groningen —which is abating—and the 'accident at Ostend, the cause of which is in course of investigation. He enlarges upon the ramification of canals as benefichd to internal navigation —and al ludes to the shock, which commercial prosperity had received throughout Europe from the late specu ,lations. His M AJESTY then felicitates the assembly upon the, increasing prosperity of their agriculture— commerce—and navigation—recommend s the diffu sion of instruction to, the poor—informs them that there is a surplus in the receipts of the revenue, appli cable to the service of next year-41ot the sum des tined for the reduCtion gf the National-Debt is , increased, and . what , their High Mightinesses will like as well, that a reduction can be made in the taxes without affecting the prollute'af the revenue. In ad dition to all this cheering inforMation his MAJESTY says that a great improvement will be effected in the penal code and civil tribunals of the kingdom ; and he concludes his pleasing prospect for Holland with telling the States that they are, formally opened to fill up the outlines of the happy picture presented to their admira tion. We' cordially wish diem' .. ' . hip Majesty •in person, with the fol . . BRUSSELS, OCT. 16. The Session of the.

Nothing ttat hnmanity and science indicate to relieve the present evil, and to limit its future ravages, is neglected. - A terrible catastrophe has befallen the town or Ostend. A strict enquiry into its causes and effeots is carrying on- Suitable relief will be distributed where .the nature and importance of the losses sustained require it. The great - channels of internal communication are im proving, and their•nomber constantly increasing. New end important parts of them will be entirely finished this year, and will afford means of conveyance for their im portant productions to countries hitherto destitute of eel communications; the development of active and useful industry will soon cause its happy effects to be felt. The Commission which I had appointed to examine the means .dittiproving the course of the rivers, has honour ably performed Its difficult task, and presented its report to me ; this important report will he published and submitted to the communication and discussion of public opiion: some of the measures proposed by the Commission, the utility of which have been acknowledged to be indispelo" ble, have been immediately adopted, and means to put them in execution prepared. But before coming to a final determination on the whole, I have desired to profit by the scientific investigations which the publication of the report will doubtless call forth. The Commission to which I assigned the care of dis tributing among the victims of the late inundations, the giftewhich public beneficence destined for the alleviation of such great misfortunes, has worthily discharged t heir duty. The distribution has been made at a rate bearing $ considerable propdrtion to the lasses—thanks to the gener ous commiseration of our countrymen, and the spirit of order and distributive justice which bas distinguished the labours of the Com Mission. The last months of the year which has just elapsed or one of the most trying periods for all the sources of public property. The want of confidence, more perhaps than real want of money, has exercised a fatal in fl ue nce in the commercial relations between different nations. Several of the principal markets of Europe have felt thrsiw k. This kingdom has also suffered, but the crisis has be " e , supported with honour, and the e ff ects ha re been f e lt much less among us than in other countries. Agriculture, manufactures, the fisheries, commerce, ti nd navigation, have been no less prosperous this year the the preceding. Public instruction is more and more adequat e to the wants of society ; the indigent class can every whe re enj l it . gratuitously. In some towns a beginning has been me with success to give to the working classes spe cial instruc tions, with a view to increase their practical knowledge.
